FastPass+ Basic Info, Attraction List, and Suggested Priorities--Part I

[mesaboy2]

Has anyone here scheduled a FP+ for the Frozen sing-along during September? Wondering how far in advance of the show your return window is? I've heard that they are considering extending it into October, and wanted to try and rearrange my existing HS FPs to allow me to add this to our schedule, just in case! Also, anyone know how long the show itself lasts, and if its a Tier 1 or Tier 2 attraction? Thanks!

According to the last info I had, it was a Tier 2 (or Group 2) attraction as indicated in the OP.

The show is close to 30 minutes long--did it myself two days ago.

If the FP works like the return tickets currently in use do, then the return window will be from 40 minutes before showtime to 10 minutes before showtime--a 30-minute window.

I booked Frozen Sing Along FP+s and my window is from 11:05-11:20 for the 11:30am show on Sept 7th. It is a Tier 2 attraction. I have no idea how long the show is or if the FP+s are reserved seating or priority access.

Quick question. We linked our Christmas Party tickets to our MDE, and have our hotel reservation linked. Can we book ALL our fastpass plus 60 days out? Or will we need to link our actual park tickets.


Also, we have 10 day never expiring tickets. Can we link those, but use different tickets later? We are waiting on a code from orbitz.

You need to have park tickets linked for the number of days you want to schedule FP+ selections. Not sure how it works if you want to swap out the linked tickets later though?

Is there any advantage of using the app over the PC to book at midnight or are they generally the same?

Ok. I'm more confused than ever.

I have the registered MDE account. My DH does not have an account. He is listed on my family and friends. Our trip is linked in MDE as are our park tickets and dining ressies; from what I can tell, everything that should show up so far does. My FP+ booking date is tomorrow morning. I went to look at MDE to make sure I know how to make FP+ selections for DH and myself. Only my name shows up on the page and I can't figure out how to get DH to show up on that page. Or is he not supposed to show up? Do I somehow add him after I start the process for myself?

I wish I could find screenshots of the process so I would know what I'm supposed to do before getting into it at 1am

I'm staying offsite and not buying tickets till we get there because the trip is not set in stone. Can I still make reservations for dining and a tour even though I haven't purchased tickets?

Yes.

I found it was faster and easier to makes initial selections on my PC - but the app is better for making changes.

I know there a few YouTube videos that can help you navigate thru the process. Perhaps you can try that? I don't have any experience with what you're dealing with....

I now this has been answered before,but I can't remember what I need to do. How do I get better time on my fp+ pick? I'm getting one early time and then they go to later times. I know they have earlier times from the other choices they give me.

Check out this link. I saw it the day before my FP date and it really helped

Thank you so much! This was absolutely what I needed. It does seem a lot simpler now that I see the screen shots.

You're very welcome. The site shows tricks for A&E and basic tutorial.
There are some YouTube videos out there too, but the ones I watched, the screens have changed a bit since they were created.
Good luck. Hope you get all your selections.

3 hours till I can pick fastpasses! Anyone else get SOOO excited, I feel like I'm goin to the parks tomorrow! I hope I can schedule all of my days. We are staying onsite for 6 nights, then going to a friends, hen back to the parks the next weekend. Anyone have experience with getting fastpasses more than 10 days out??

 

[Kirby]

Yes.

Yay! Thank you!

Well, I did it. Not thrilled with it, but I guess we'll just have to keep working on it and hope some things open up.

I did get SDMT and there was still availability at 12:25a when I finished.

But WISHES! and A&E were gone by 12:02a! . . . Really?! 12:02a and the two I really wanted are gone. I'm just . . . flabbergasted.

Okay, A&E I kind of figured I wouldn't get (still extremely disappointed about it) and from some of the talk online, I didn't think we'd get SDMT either but I figured WISHES! would be easy. I know a lot of people said don't waste a FP+ on it, but the area they use for it is the one we have always sat in to see WISHES! so it's kind of tradition for us.

I'm just not sure how much I'm liking this FP+ thing. I could really use an A&E Standby+ test the last week of October . . . hhmmmm.

I'm curious: how did you manage to sit in a grassy, fenced-off area before FP? I never saw that area open for guests before FP.

Holy crap! How long is your trip and did you try for all of the days or did you have a specific day in mind? This is making me nervous!

I was surprised I couldn't get Wishes, either, but with all the MNSSHP parties in October, there are far less nights available, I guess, which is making that FP so much harder to get.
